How Has Your X5 Embarrassed You?

[ake53]

I work for the school system as a Computer/Network Technician.
Today, I pulled up to a middle school and the principal ran up to greet me saying. Wow! is that your beamer?! I'm like yuppp... he asks me many more questions about it... Than say he had a 2002 or bavaria and it was good for skiing. After all this bmw talk, I get my work done. Get to my car, unlock it. sit down. key in ignition... its about to start and than dies. No lights. Try again nothing. I think its the key at first. I step out. try unlocking... no response. get back in...still not lights... Than crawl to the back... open the rear door. fold down seats and start moving stuff to get to the trunk. finnaly open the truck using emergency latch. than pull the floor board, tire, get to the battery and it looks fine... look at it again and notice the negative (black cable is a bit loose. Push it down and the car comes to life! Than put all the stuff back and drive away. Embarrassing when about 10 people wearing suits with ties are all staring at me and the guy that just talked about how great BMW's are is starring at my embarrassing moment. So this is why I carry...... Tools and diag laptop. Has you X embarrassed you? post below and any tips on how to prevent the cables from getting loose? its tighten all the way but still moves up. I dont like putting a rag over it.
